Chatter vs. Jabber
By Glennice Jones
Santa Claus really arrived at the
homes of our fellow-workers. Everyone
seemed to get what they had been wish
ing for, even Nancy Matlock, who got
her beautiful Kewpie doll.
Santa and Jimmy Perry arrived to
gether at Marjorie Perry’s home. He had
been overseas about two years, so he
was certainly good to see. Lucy Connor
says that her brother has come home tooi
Then, Ernestine Cox has just found out;
that Everette (Quaker) Cox has at last
arrived in the States. They are keeping
their Christmas tree for him. Isn’t that
nice? Most of the fun during Christmas
anyway was seeing so many of our boys
back again.
Most of us saw the dance that Otis
Koontz performed at the Council ban
quet. It was so good that he states that
he has had several offers from Holly
wood and New York. We heard there
was a shortage of men’s clothing. We
wonder what the offer was?
John Eggleston, Nancy Matlock, and
J. H. Lindsay have been ill during
Christmas.
Jesse Burton has been in. two wed
dings recently. Not bigamy, we under
stand, but he must be practicing that
walking down the aisle. Then he must
like to usher the good-looking girls into
the church. It is a good thing Frances
was there to see how it was done, of
course!
Most of us noticed a blaze from the
Scheduling Department. It was much
later that we found that it came from
the significant diamond on Mildred
Hodges’ “third finger, left hand.”
Was Minnie on that trip to Cascade,^
Robert (Joyce)?
Have you heard that Iva Pendleton
finally did get to Draper to do her
Christmas shopping?
We all enjoyed the visit of Captain
D. C. Williams, whom it was really good
to see again after his being overseas for
almost two years.
And to our many friends we wish a
very Happy and Prosperous NEW YEAR.
P. S. We heard that that smile on
Glennice’s face was caused by some
beautiful roses. (M. G.)
Two shop-keepers in the same dis
trict had been competitors for years.
One day they met on the street and one
proprietor said to the other, “I hope
you’re doing a good business.”
“Thanks very much,” said the other,
“but may I ask why you say it so
■ heartily?”
“Well,” said the first proprietor, “I’ve
been keeping my ears open around this
town. As far as I’ve been able to gather,
as soon as everything is on the market
again, all your customers are coming to
me, and all my customers are going to
you.”
A REASONABLE FACSIMILE
A gum chewing girl and a cud chewing ^
cow
Are alike, and yet they’re different
some how.
The difference? Oh, yes, I have it now:
There’s a sensible look on the face of
the cow!
